It is called thus as criminals should be reminded daily that they are at a place where their wrong behavior can be corrected. Because of this the new material called "The Prison Bible", has not been cleared yet to use in the prison or rather the correctional facility. Please pray that this obstacle will be removed. The Prison Bible is a power tool that can be used to help and transform inmates.
In the meantime our partners are using other materials and these are some of the testimonies which was shared:
1. Language: English Maysons Story
Before I
met the Lord Jesus Christ I was doing drugs and was busy with all the wrong
things, my life was really corrupt. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour
when I was in prison. He has changed me and I am now a new person and am now
living for the Lord. I am now eager to learn about the Lord and build a
relationship with him. The materials are helping me a lot to understand my new life now.
2. Language: Zulu Veils’ Story
My life was
terrible and I never knew the Lord but accepting God and getting to know him as
my personal Saviour was the best thing that could ever happen to me. It was so
good after I accepted him.
3. Language: English Keenan’s
Story
Before I
met Jesus I had a rough life I did not know Jesus and I was a bad person. I
just came to church not knowing what I will find. I now feel free and know that
I have a purpose in life. The more I learn the more I understand.
4. Language: English Neo’s Story
Before I
met the Lord Jesus Christ I was a drug addict, I came to know the Lord in
prison. It was a little bit strange at first but I wanted help and am now a
changed person. As I am taking the lessons it is less strange for me now.
5. Language: English Josephs
Story
Before I
came to accept God as my personal Saviour I was an alcoholic and never bothered
listening to anyone not even to my parents. I decided to change my life and give my heart to God. Many
things have now changed in my life and it feels so good to be a Christian. The more I learn through God's Word the more I am changing. Thank you Bible League for the materials you are giving us.
6. Language: Tswana Bernard's
Story
Before I
accepted Jesus as my Saviour, I was a robber and a drug addict and was also
very deceiving. Getting to know the Lord as my personal Saviour was the best
thing that happened to me knowing that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, I
now read the Bible everyday.
7. Language: English Thulani’s Story
I was a
drug addict and I use to steal and buy drugs with the money I used to get. I
accepted Christ in prison by going to
church and attending courses for bible study. I also first thought that I was a
looser in life but since God came into my life I now have a better life which I
am living, and that is a good life that God wants me to live.
8. Language: English
I was a
trouble maker but very respectful towards the elders. I accepted the Lord Jesus
Christ in prison and gave him my heart 100%. My life has changed a lot and only
for the better and for my daughter as well all because I now am a believer.
Please pray for theses young men...they are still in prison when writing this article. May they continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Many men and woman find the saving grace of God while serving time but when they are released...in many cases...they forget to keep the faith. Please they need your prayers....Thank you.
